Abstract

A shaftless vertical axis wind turbine has a stationary hollow core having inner and outer circular walls with a void between the inner and outer walls. A rotor is rotatably supported about the core and has a plurality of radially extending rotor arms each having a wind engaging rotor blade located at a distal end.
